Synergy 3 was a three day international conference for polymer artists in Atlanta in mid- March. I met interesting and talented people from all over the world, thought about design, teaching and ethics, and saw inspiring pieces in the gallery. At the end of the conference I took a workshop with Dan and Tracy Cormier, where I marveled at Dan’s craftsmanship and learned several excellent techniques. Below is the piece I made, which will continue to teach me more lessons in the future as I consider the details.

I must have been dreaming about spring with those pastel colors, which certainly aren’t my usual palette!
